"Yo, it's pretty sensible now, and it knows how to be quiet while we speak. Riel reached out to touch its head, "I thought it was going to rush over with excitement." ”

To his surprise, though, Arthur took a slight step back and dodged.

"Huh?" Riel was stunned, "Why, you don't know me anymore......"

"How could it be. Allen said.

But Arthur kept this position and resolutely did not take a step forward, tilted his head and stared at Riel for a long time, then let out a soft cry and walked away.

"Wow, what the hell, is this guy so forgetful?" Arthur's reaction disappointed Riel and he cried out.

"Is it because your stinky socks haven't been washed for so long that they don't want to come near you at all?" In order to comfort Rare's bad mood, Alan joked, "Since you went to that castle, you have become lazier and lazier, and your socks are only washed once every ten days and half a month!"

"Well, it's possible......" Riel touched his head embarrassedly, "It seems like it's been three days......"

"That's it!" said Allen, "I can smell it coming from you while I'm lying in my bed!"

"This ...... I can't help it, after all, the room where we live at school doesn't have very good lighting, and it's not easy to dry your clothes......" Riel pouted and muttered quietly, "Where is it like you, if your clothes are wet or freshly washed, someone will help you dry or blow dry them with magic......"

"Uh......" This time it was Allen's turn to speak.

Riel says it does.

After Alyssa's salvation, the relationship between the three of them became more and more delicate. Alyssa would often call Alan to the library with her, and sometimes stop by for dinner. Allen's extracurricular time is almost filled with Alyssa and Cynthia in turn, and he usually tells them both about any worries. When Alan accidentally mentioned that their room was not lit up and it was difficult to dry the clothes after washing in winter, I wondered if Alyssa and Cynthia were competing, and the two of them rushed to use magic to help Alan dry his clothes, it was like a competition.

Of course, Rare also revealed the idea of asking Alyssa to help, but was rejected on the grounds that "I don't have a lot of magic and time to spend on such frivolous little things." This made Riel haunt it for a long time.

"Oh, you two seem to be quite popular at school?" asked old Adrian with interest.

"Who knows, he's probably the only one who is popular. Riel shrugged his shoulders and looked displeased, "After all, everyone likes to deal with smart people, because it makes them appear smart themselves. ”

"Uh......" Alan heard the sour taste in his mouth, and quickly said, "Actually, it's not true...... For example, Ivan and the people on the second floor didn't like us very much. ”

"There are other people who live in the same room as you, and it seems that you live on the fourth floor?" said old Adrian, "and that's interesting, generally speaking, the people who live on each floor have similar family backgrounds, and their values and worldviews are almost the same, especially if you are not very noble, it should be easier to get along." ”

"That's right, but there are exceptions. Alan said with a soft sigh.

"That's it, he's even teamed up with two wizards to plot against us!, it's really disgusting!" Riel said as he shook his fist, "When I asked him why he did this, he denied it in every possible way, and said something he didn't know with an aggrieved face, which was clearly a quibble!"

"But I think he really doesn't know anything. "Even if we don't believe Ivan, I think Ian's words can still be believed." He said that his brother's heart was not bad. I also think it's just that he entered the wrong circle, and when he tried to get out of it, he found that it was too late...... Since he is in a dilemma, of course he will choose the path that is beneficial to him. I think other people would honestly choose to do things with money, and don't care about anything else. ”

"Hmph! I've already had a big fight with him anyway, and I'll never talk to him again in the next three years!" "Riel didn't seem to listen to Alan's defense for Ivan at all, and still had an attitude of not getting along with each other.

"Well, whatever you want. Alan had no choice but to shrug his shoulders helplessly and shake his head.

"Ho! Old Adrian said with some surprise, "I haven't heard this word for a long time, and you're going to run into them again." These guys are really a bit old, and you can tell me the ins and outs of the whole thing when you have time. ”

"No, no, no, if it's old, there's something even more outrageous!" said Riel, "an old witch named Menissa Frost has used an amazing weather magic to freeze the whole castle! ”

"Menissa Frost!" they had already sat down around the campfire, but old Adrian was so surprised at the name that he stood up, "She's still alive!"

"Yes, yes...... You seem to know her?" asked Riel, taken aback by Old Adrian's reaction.

"One of the most notorious criminals in history, a madman who has devoted himself to the study of forbidden magic. Old Adrian paced a few steps slowly, and was silent for a long time before he sat down again, "She is a contemporary of the four Guardians, but she has taken a very different path from the four. ”

"Yes, she herself said that she and the four Guardians had practiced together in the Valley of Origin. Allen added.

It is said that she started out just to slow down her aging, but gradually she became obsessed with studying how to make herself immortal. She is wanted by the lords of various countries for her crazy human experiments at all costs and by any means to achieve her goals. "But although the bounty is very high, because of her own strong mana, and the fact that she has raised a group of giants as her personal guards, few people dare to accept this bounty, and all those who accept it have become her experiments." In addition, at that time, there were many wars between countries, and it was more cost-effective to plunder the resources of other countries than to spend so much energy on her, so she has always been at large. ”

"It's pretty much the same as she said. Alan nodded.

"But strangely, such a man of infinite power suddenly vanished one day, along with her wicked ice, faithful guards, and terrifying rumors. ”

According to her own account, she was cornered by the four Guardians in Lettery Snow Mountain, and in desperation, she used ice elemental magic to seal herself. ”

"Ah, ......I see," Old Adrian nodded, "That's right, it seems that this is why Lettery's Snow Mountain suddenly turned into a snowy mountain and appeared thousands of miles away. It seems that rumors are not unfounded sometimes. ”

"But what surprised me even more was the person who woke her up......" Allen said, "judging by her own description......"

"What is sacred?" said old Adrian, who was also visibly interested, "to approach such a place at the risk of being frozen in ice, and I am afraid that only the desperate or the most vicious would make such a choice." ”

"Yes, this man is vicious, and you've probably heard of it. ”

"Oh, who is it?" said old Adrian, "is it Bill Ostauff, the murderer of the arson at Masur Manor, or Julia Styles, the female fugitive from the Stuart City serial murders?"

"Neither. Alan shook his head, "It's the creator of the 'Krivari School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Incident', Arne Burresto. ”

I thought that old Adrian would suddenly realize when he heard the name and said, "Oh, it was him." Because he had also mentioned to himself the shocking case that had been concealed by the Magical Management Society. But what Alan didn't expect was that old Adrian's eyes widened when he heard the name, staring at him deadly, and his lips began to tremble.

"You say it again...... Who is it?" old Adrian's voice sounded trembling.

"Well, it's Arn Burrestu. Alan was startled by Old Adrian's expression. It was the first time he had seen the old man look like this.

But what surprised him even more was the reaction of the elder Adrian...... He stood up suddenly, slammed the cane in his hand to the ground, and shouted, "Impossible......! He's dead!"
